Anesthetic and Obstetric Management of High-Risk Pregnancy

This is the 3rd edition of a classic text which still represents the only multi-disciplinary approach to the evaluation and management of a high-risk pregnancy. Since most chapters are written by a 2-author team (an anesthesiologist and an obstetrician or fetologist), information will be efficiently formated, practical, and complete. Coverage will include causes of the health risk, pathophysiology, obstetric treatment written by an obstetrician, and anesthetic management written by an obstetric anesthesiologist. Chapters will include the latest procedures and most advanced technology. They will cover the parameters used to observe fetal well-being and deal with abnormal findings, regardless of the stage of development. Topics will extend through the delivery and post delivery periods.
It is a book that swings from supernumerary level to high end tertiary referral obstetric anaesthesia, however, the layout and clarity of headings make for easier reading than might be expected. For this reason it would sit extremely well on any departmental bookshelf for access by trainees and consultants alike. I would recommend updating since the previous edition. Some areas of controversy, such as cardio-respiratory and critical care medicine, have been thoroughly updated and ongoing areas of controversy, such as use of Swann–Ganz catheters, have both sides of the argument laid out.
